One of South Korea’s biggest box office smashes, first-time director Kim Joung-hoon’s PETTY ROMANCE (??? ???, Jjae Jjae Han Romaenseu, 2010) comes to the United Kingdom on DVD 8th of October, 2012. A sex columnist and a comic book artist team up to create the ultimate female action manga hero in this comedy starring Lee Sun-kyun (OKI`S MOVIE, PAJU, NIGHT AND DAY, COFFEE PRINCE), Choi Kang-hee (MY SCARY GIRL, WHISPERING CORRIDORS), Oh Jung-se (QUICK, COUPLES) and Ryu Hyun-kyung (MY WIFE IS A GANGSTER 2). An adult cartoon contest is announced offering a $100,000 prize. Talented cartoonist Jung-bae (Lee Sun-Kyun) is constantly turned down by publishing companies because of his poor storylines. To raise his chances of winning, he hires a sex advice columnist, Da-rim (Choi Kang-hee), a self-claimed expert on relationship and lovemaking with big imagination and zero experience. For the cartoon competition, Da-rim comes up with the idea of a female assassin, Ma Mi-so, who keeps her male victims captive for erotic kicks. The two, who seemed perfectly matched, team up for the lucrative prize, bringing out their respective wildest fantasies. Trouble is set to brew: will they be able to complete the task and win the competition? Spectacular action and sizzling love scenes from the couple’s imagination were given life through the hand of award winning illustrator Seok Jeong-hyeon. The movie captures the process of adult animation production and director Kim Jeong-hoon uses a great technique of mixing feature film and adult Manwha (Korean comic books) for erotic and fighting segments when the couple’s inner thoughts come alive into action.
